Report: Louisiana Tech's White leading candidate at Florida

White could meet with Florida Athletic Director Jeremy Foley as early as today, multiple sources told Forde. On Monday, at a press conference for Donovan in Gainesville, Fla., Foley said he had not contacted any coaches and the search would begin that night, though he had been preparing a list of candidates for months. He also said the search could last into June.

White, a point guard at Ole Miss from 1995-99, is 101-40 in four seasons at Louisiana Tech. He was also one of the coaches mentioned in early reports about possible successors for Donovan.
